March Madness is officially over. Earlier tonight (last night?), the Baylor ladies squashed their overmatched Michigan St. opponents, rolling to a 84-62 victory. Overlooking the fact that I was completely owned with my (revised) championship game predictions, it was great to see neither Tennessee nor UConn in the mix for the first time in 12 years. I'd really like to see the Duke ladies pull one out before I leave, but the departure of Monique Currie (WNBA) won't help that.

In related news, Baylor's title is the first in men's or women's hoops in Big 12 conference HISTORY (okay, okay, so it's only been a conference since the '96-'97 season. still. big news). Kirk Heinrich and the boys at Kansas sure came close not too long ago, but remember, almost doesn't count...
